So theoretically, what is the best gear for hdin, as it's changed many times over the years, and many people build it differently. I'm personally trying to do 10k damage but idk what gloves to put up on him before I respec him. Not having full gear sounds kinda wasteful. I'm curious to hear people's thoughts.

Please specify for what Content.

Well im curious on the different takes on the hdin, as I have yet to respec him but im also doing his gear piece by piece. And I did specifiy as im also curious on how people built it differently. Everyone builts it differently to have the same result, just a different take on it. Like gear, charms, or sets, skills, Stats etc.

Thats actually a pretty good build. You actually get the point of this convo lol who else has a different take on the hdin? None of y'all ever experimented with it?

The more "budget/user friendly one with more MF and 125 FCR as well

-Shacko ptopaz
-Maras (can use a low one easy) or +2 pal skills
-Enigma (preferred obviously) can use vipers for the FCR , opening up the use of other items.
Arachnids mesh
Magefist always (mana regen and frc) trangs is okay, the cold resist isn't necessary
1 fcr ring with dex/resist/life whatever.
1soj preferred or raven if you choose not to cham your helm
War travs (big mf) or treks/waters
35 FCR sacred targe for the block
Hoto (needed for 125 or else you'll need to sub soj for an fcr ring with a spirit sword)

Ideally a cta in off hand for obvious reasons. Without it, you'll still be okay, as you will have 2k+ health with max block and resists. You just may need to pot more often

I run 5-6 pcomb gcs for players 8 solo speed farm chaos. Obviously not necessary if your in players 1-5.

The big boy max dmg hammers (used for bases and high rune farming) which I feel is more lucrative after a few weeks into ladder.

2/20 pal circlet (dex and @res)
2/20 pal amulet
Enigma, hoz, hoto, arachnids and eth treks (I prefer)
With as many pcomb skillers as comfortable for inventory management (ps4/5 especially).
This allows for 2 additional + skills into hammers and much more block, so you can invest 30-40 more points into vita, sort of offsetting the hp loss from not using shacko and a stronger cta buff.. as you won't have as many "+all skills". In addition the roll on the pal circlet/tiara/diadem and amulet can significantly enhance the difference.

This keeps you over 125 fcr which extremely nice for hdin and 15-16k hammers.

If you run sub 125, it's feasible,, opens up a lot of additional MF (chance guards, Nagel rings etc.) But it's slower in p8 solo

"Scepter build"

2/20 circlet
2/20 ammy
3/3/3 scepter or 2/3/3 or 2/10fcr/3/3
10fcr ring or soj/bk
Soj/bk
Ww or w.e you want
Trang/mage
Spirit ST
Arachs
Enigma
9xpcombs

Build allows maximum damage. 17k hammers with 2/10fcr/3/3 scepter equipped with 2x soj. Can reach 18k with HOZ but wont be 125fcr.

You can switch out coa with shako if you want more life and dmg but wont be max dr and 86fhr

He’s asking what you plan on doing with this Hammer, as that will dictate the “best” build…
